DCS World Open Beta News
This week we updated the Open Beta of DCS World 2.5 to include a number of fixes and additions. Highlights of this week's Open Beta update include:

• Addressed an intermittent multiplayer host crash.
  
• Fixed a crash related to multi-monitor use.
  
• Corrected VR issues related to 4K monitors and cursor scale.
  
• Aircraft carrier catapult adjusted for low temperature conditions.
  
• Added work-in-progress update to properties of Medium and High PRF radar emission. There is a known issue with Medium PRF with high-aspect targets.
  
• Hornet ACM boresight mode extended to 10 nm.
  
• Corrected UH-1H glass transparency.
  
• Numerous AJS-37 fixes and improvements.
  
• Added the Yak-52 to the Logbook.

For a more complete changelog, please see changelog on the DCS forum

Regarding the Hornet, it's important to note that we are now focusing on some of the more difficult and time-intensive tasks like making several fundamental changes to the air-to-air radar simulation (will have benefits with other modules), the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS), and other systems we've touched on recently. As such, the number of new items for the Hornet will be less than before, but the same amount of attention and manpower is being devoted.

Ongoing DCS World Helicopter Autumn Sale Pack
Running now and lasting until September 30th, 2018, we are offering all four DCS World helicopters for just $69.99! Normally a $199.96 value; this is a 65% saving on each helicopter. DCS World offers some of the most realistic helicopter simulations available on the PC, and nothing compares to the helicopter combat environment that DCS World offers.

Coming with the DCS World Helicopters Pack is a special "four-in-one" mission - Helicopter Operations, which allows you to play all the helicopters on one battlefield. Depending on your helicopter choice, you will be tasked with what your helicopter can do best!

Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer
Coming to DCS World as an AI-only ship unit, the Arleigh Burke is an American guided missile destroyer that forms the backbone of the US Navy surface fleet. Built around the SPY-1D multi-function Aegis Combat System radar system, the Arleigh Burke is armed to the teeth with surface-to-air, surface-to-surface, and anti-ship weapons and defense systems.



More WIP screenshots

As we grow the naval aviation component of DCS World with the Hornet, Tomcat, and other future carrier-borne aircraft, the Arleigh Burke is a much-needed component to create a modern, realistic naval task force.

This patch brings in fluids and fluid containers, specifically water and buckets. There is no well yet, so you have to actually go to water to get water, for now only used for farming. It's much more of a nuisance that just unlimited water from your watering can, but this is just a step. Once wells are in you won't have to teleport around with buckets in your inventory to keep up a large sized farm.

This also adds bags, which are in inventory containers. The code was a little slippery because you can have an item inside an item in it looks like a potential loop if not setup properly and compilers do not like loops. For now they are... big! Up to 40 slots at higher levels!

To make it easier to see what is open and what is clicked on with all that inventory I've added a "currently open" orange highlight, and a "currently selected" yellow highlight.

I also move the way the game starts up around a bit, at least one player is having some infreqent problems when loading. For one, now the console always tries to load immediately after the main interface, allowing it to catch and report any errors after that.

v 0.3.1d - 2018.09.14
- Moved the console to be the first thing that loads when a game is started to better capture errors
- Fixed King's Leaf Seeds throwing an error when planting
- Pigs now really don't drop pumpkin seeds
- Added a container: bag
- Containers cannot be put inside other containers or storage devices
- Added a fluid container: bucket
- Watering Can is now also a fluid container
- Watering soil will now require water in the watering can
- You can transfer water between fluid containers by clicking to drag one and right-clicking it on another
- Added an item selector (yellow border) to show which item's details are currently being displayed
- Added an open container (orange border) to show which containers contents are currently being displayed

You may need to restart Steam for the update to begin.

To opt into Beta you only need to go to your Steam Library, right-click on Solace Crafting, select Properties, click on the Beta tab, and opt-in to the beta. The beta is only available to Windows 64-bit users.

Hey guys,

We all know that a great game has to tick a lot of boxes in order to provide the best experience and one that's easily omitted is music.

We spend so much time polishing the mechanics, visuals and bugs that we rarely have the time to sit and discuss the music.

Fortunately we found enough of time to make sure that the music would be EPIC.

In fact we love it so much that we will release an OST with the tracks from the game for you to enjoy. And we want to present to you the first one called "Follow the Prophet".

Please let us know what you think, after all we are doing this for You!

The day of the server merge is fast approaching. Be prepared for next week!
Everything you need to know about the merge and the answers to potential questions can be found in this FAQ.



When is the server merge taking place?
The server merge is planned for next week. The exact date and time schedule will be shown shortly beforehand on the website.

Which servers are being merged?
As part of the server merge, PvE servers of the same language will be combined. We will integrate the newer servers into the older servers of the same language. Killian will remain as international PvP server and Seren will remain as French PvE server.

• PvE server (EN): BAHAAR will be added to MYSTEL
  
• 1 PvE server (DE): DAGON will be added to YURIAN
  
• 1 international PvP server (EN): KILLIAN will remain
  
• 1 PvE server (FR): SEREN will remain

How should I prepare for the server merge?
For a smooth transition, we recommend that you bear the following in mind:

• Limit of 20 characters: There will be a limit of 20 characters per server on the merged servers. This means that you might have to choose your favorites and delete all remaining characters. We recommend that you plan ahead and transfer any gold or items that you want to keep to other characters (see: 3. My account).
  
• Possible name changes required: As part of the server merge, you might be required to give your character a new name (see: 5. Character names).
  
• Guilds and guild banks: As already mentioned, some players might have to delete some characters. In turn, this might lead to only one player remaining in a guild. This would mean this guild no longer has enough members, resulting in any items in the guild bank being lost. You should therefore check the status of your guild and guild bank before deleting characters ahead of the server merge (see: 6. Guilds).
  
• Items listed in the brokerage: All of your items will be transferred to the new server. However, as demand and prices there might be different, it may be a good idea to withdraw your items from the auction for now and list them for sale following the merge (see: 4. Items/Inventory/Bank/Brokerage).

Do I have to delete characters for the merge?
As already mentioned, the maximum limit of 20 characters per server might mean that you have to delete surplus characters.
If you have more characters than character slots following the merge, you won’t be able to join the game until all surplus characters have been deleted.
We strongly recommend that you check all characters that you might want to delete and remove all items you want to keep from their inventories and banks.
Items listed in the brokerage: after the server merge, if your items are still stored at the broker, you will not be able to delete your characters. It may be a good idea to withdraw your items from the auction for now and list them for sale following the merge.
Note: The characters that started the deletion process 24 hours before the server merge will instantly be deleted when the server is merged.

How many character slots will I have following the merge and how many characters do I have to delete?

• If you do not have veteran status or any additional slots: If you had 2 characters on Bahaar and 2 on Mystel before the merge, you will have a total of 2 character slots on Mystel after the merge. All 4 characters will appear on Mystel, but you will have to delete 2 of them before you are able to play.
  
• If additional character slots are available or you have veteran status: The number of character slots you have on the merged server will depend on the server where you had the most character slots prior to the merge (from all the servers that are being merged). For example: If you have 10 slots on Bahaar and 9 on Mystel, you will have 10 slots available to you on Mystel.

To be able to join the server, all surplus characters will need to be deleted.

Is there a time limit for deleting surplus characters?
Following the merge, you will have to place surplus characters in the deletion queue so you can log in to the server. A time limit of 30 days will start upon your first login after the merge. After 30 days, all characters in the deletion queue will be automatically removed from your account. You should therefore complete the steps listed above in advance.

My account is currently inactive. Will I lose my characters?
No, don’t worry. The 30-day limit won’t start until your first login after the merge. Once you have reactivated your account, you will have 30 days to carry out the steps listed above before you lose any characters.

What happens to character slots that I bought for characters that will be deleted?
If you have bought character slots in the last month for characters that you will delete, you can contact our Customer Support team for a refund. Free slots, for example those distributed for new classes, and slots purchased before 19/08/2018 cannot be refunded.

How can I contact Customer Support to get a refund for deleted slots?
Contact our Customer Support team at: http://support.tera-europe.com/

• Select the “Server merge” category
  
• The ticket must contain the following information:
  
  • Current character name
    
  • The server you play on
    
  • Original server
    
  • Number of deleted character slots purchased after 19/08/2018 and before the day of the server merge

Will items in my inventory be transferred to the new server?
Yes, all items and your full gold balance will be transferred with your character.

What about items in the bank – will they be lost?
All items stored in the bank will be consolidated on the new server. If there is not enough space available for them, additional slots will be temporarily added. These will only allow you to withdraw items from the old server, and you won’t be able to use these later for new items. However, this is not subject to a time limit, so you can take your time withdrawing the items. Any Bank Expansions will be retained.

What happens to items in the bank which are bound to a deleted character?
Items which are bound to a character which is deleted before the merge remain bound to this character. That means you will not be able to use them with another character (just as before the merge). Unfortunately, such items will produce an error message which displays the character name to whom the items are bound incorrectly.

What about the Wardrobe?
All Wardrobe Expansions and all items stored in the Wardrobe will be retained. If there is not enough space available for them, additional slots will be temporarily added. These will only allow you to withdraw items from the old server, and you won’t be able to use these later for new items. Please note that you can have a maximum of 4 temporary tabs in the Wardrobe. Surplus items will be deleted. It is therefore recommended to check in advance whether or not the number of items in the Wardrobe will exceed this limit.

What happens to items listed in the brokerage?
All your items listed in the brokerage will be transferred to the new server. However, as demand and prices there might be different, it might be a good idea to withdraw your items from the auction for now and list them for sale on the new server following the merge.
Note: after the server merge, if your items are still stored at the broker, you will not be able to delete characters.

What about inventory pets?
Items and gold in the pockets of your inventory pets will be transferred to the new server along with your character.

Do I have to collect my post or other items in the messaging system?
Your post and other items will also be transferred to the new server. However, there is the possibility of messages and attached items disappearing if the sender has deleted their character. We therefore recommend that you collect all items from your mailbox before the merge.

What will happen to items in my Item Claim?
All items in your Item Claim, both those bound to characters and your account, will be transferred and kept with the merge.

Will saved gear sets be retained in my character profile?
No, saved gear sets will not be transferred.


What about my character names? What happens if there’s another character with the same name on the new server after the merge?
It may be necessary to change your character name following the server merge if the name is being used by other characters. In this case, one character will keep the name, while all others will be automatically renamed. You will be able to choose a new name for the affected character before joining the server using the in-game function.

How exactly will it be decided whether I have to rename my character following the merge?
The main factor is the activity over the past month. This means that the following happens when several characters have the same name. If the character name is “Gameforge”, for example:

• The character active over the last 30 days will keep the name “Gameforge”.
  
• Other characters will have a string of random numbers added to the end of their names, e.g. “Gameforge_14326”.
  
• These characters can be renamed at login in the character selection menu.
  
• If both were active the last 30d the overall playtime decides which one gets to keep the name

What happens to the Friends List? Will I still appear on the Friends Lists of my friends if I have to change my name?
Yes, you will remain on the list. If it is necessary to change your name, your old name will automatically be replaced by your new name on the Friends List.

What happens to BuddyUp Codes?
BuddyUp Codes will be reset following the server merge. However, new codes can be generated.
Friends that have already been accepted will still be visible in the list and will also receive their rewards.


How does the merge affect guilds?
Guild members, guild banks, and everything else will be transferred as part of the merge. However, as already mentioned, some players might have to delete a few characters. In turn, this might lead to only one player remaining in a guild, meaning the guild no longer has sufficient members. This would result in any items in the guild bank being lost. You should therefore check the status of your guild and guild bank before deleting characters for the server merge.

What happens to guild names?
If any name conflicts occur as a result of the merge, the older guild will retain its name. The newer guild will therefore have to be renamed. All guild masters of the affected guild can log into the game and use the in-game function to rename the guild.

What happens to the GvG battle status?
The GvG status log will not be transferred.

What will happen to guild war in Velika?
The special highlights around your guild logo (gold, silver and bronze wreaths) will not be transferred, nor will existing towers.


Will I lose my reputation/vanguard points after the merge?
No, you will not lose any reputation or other credits.

Will I have to change my UI settings for each character (skill hotkeys, window options, etc.)?
Your settings for skill hotkeys, chained skills, shortcut key skills, etc. are all bound to your character and do not have to be set up again. However, UI settings, e.g. the position of the skill bar, chat window, or the compass, might need to be set again.

Will special achievements be retained?
Yes, all achievements and titles will be kept.

What happens to the PvP rankings?
The current state of the rankings will not be transferred.

Note: The current Battleground season (season 2) will end the day of the server merge (before the maintenance). Winners will be determined within a few days of the end of a season and will receive their reward by parcel post in game. A new season will start after the merge on all servers.
*Please also note that the current display of the season’s end, in-game, is incorrect.

Hello everyone! As you have seen during these days, I have not updated the game. This is due to several things:

• Right now I'm programming internal systems which I can not stop halfway to upload an update every Friday, because it would give error.
  
• I had some vacations in my town since there were festivities and I haven't had real vacations since years.
  
• Also, I am working on upgrading and customizing the house interior, with cool upgrades and furniture blueprints to unlock.

During this time, I have been thinking several things such as uploading an update every 2 weeks instead of 1. It does not give me physical time to program a complex system in a week without errors and also have some life apart from doing this project.

As you know, I am working alone on this big project and it will take me some time to complete it. That's why in my free time, I'm always doing other small projects to distract myself from this game, because being 24/7 just burns me.

I'm going to make a special announcement. Some time ago, when I was having a hard time in my life, I made a little relaxing game to forget myself and think more clearly. As I liked it so much, I decided to share it with the community for free. It's called Himno.



It will be released in a month or so totally free.

I think I have nothing left to explain/say. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to leave a comment or start a discussion. There will be an update with new content next week.

Have a nice weekend and as always, thanks for supporting me ːsteamhappyː

David.

I've made changes so that left handed people have an easier time to play. You can now set with which controller you would like to move. This applies for teleport movement as well as trackpad movement.

Furthermore you can set on which side of your body you prefer to have ammo. Both are needed to be able to play well with either main hand.


I also added some highlighting on the bolts of weapons that need to be bolted before you can shoot. This way you get an indication when your hand is close enough to grab on.

Lastly I removed the experimental grabbing options.

Hope it helps,
Kind regards,
Ray
